The fields take a lot of surface water and help protect the already existing houses. Building on these sites would be disastrous for residents of Branksome Drive and Branksome Grove, re the already overloaded old drains due to many culverts which already run under the existing properties. We are already a flood risk area as flooded in 2000 and 2015, the latter when the water was over a metre high inside the Branksome Drive properties absolutely devastating for residents. Bradford Road already is level 3 air pollution so would definitely increase with the added traffic which will be detrimental to our health. Any extra traffic from proposed houses would make Bradford Road an even more dangerous and nightmare than it already is. The fields are a natural habitat for many wildlife ie. Deer, rabbits, squirrels, bat's and many birds nesting in hedges
